You can boot your Neo FreeRunner in the following ways:
- You can power it up into an Openmoko image directly (default, when powered-on for the first time).
- You can boot it into the U-Boot bootloader via NAND Flash.
- You can boot it into U-Boot via NOR Flash.
Booting the device into NAND and NOR Flash allows you to update the kernel and root filesystem.
Start the Openmoko Image
Press and hold Power button for about 8 seconds, until the Openmoko splash screen turns up. You may now release the Power button and the Neo FreeRunner will continue to boot into the Openmoko Image.
Log into U-Boot in the NAND Flash
- Press and hold Power button
- Then while still pressing the Power button, press and hold AUX button for 5 to 8 seconds.
- A boot menu will appear. This indicates the NAND flash has booted.
- Press the AUX button to select one of the options and then press the Power button to execute.
Log into U-Boot in the NOR Flash
This option is usually used by developers or when flashing (imaging) the FreeRunner.
- Press and hold the AUX button
- While still pressing the AUX button, press and hold the Power button.
- Then release the AUX button (not required?)
- You should see the boot menu for the NOR Flash. This means you have entered the NOR flash.
Flashing can be performed when the NOR boot menu is active.
There are six options you can choose when you log into the NOR Flash.
- Boot from MicroSD
- Set console to USB
- Set console to Serial
- Power off
If you cannot log into U-Boot in NAND flash then you can log into U-Boot in the NOR flash either.
|| NOTE: The term Logging in used in this context means to turn on the device using the described method, and leaving it at the U-Boot menu. To avoid the device automatically booting, tap the AUX key to move the selector bar. Note also that the device will not automatically turn off while flashing is in progress.

Bolstered by the community's embracement of the first two phases of Substancial, the opportunity emerged to explore the initial concept and intentions of the piece in further detail. Substancial Phase 4 reflects the origins of the hudson river Health Center as a grassroots project and ties into the later emergence of the concept of the health center as a network of service providers which originates from the the flagship Health Center in Peekskill NY. Since the Health Center's inception in 1975, 14 additional facilities have been created in different counties throughout NY State. Substancial Phase 4 incorporates this idea of the relationship between potentiality and movement with it's dense accumulation of lanterns which convey a sense of potential energy and expanding mass in an explosion of light and form along the length of the façade of the health center.

LiveCode LessonsLiveCode Data Grid Using The Built-In Field EditorHow Do I Save Changes The User Makes In An Editor Field To An External Data Source?
How Do I Save Changes The User Makes In An Editor Field To An External Data Source?
When Calling EditFieldText with 3 Parameters (Simpler)
When calling EditFieldText with all three parameters (which is what a data grid column does by default) the data grid will automatically save the text that the user enters in the dgData array. That means that all you need to do is save the text of the editor field to your external data source in the CloseFieldEditor message. Note that if you save anything other than the text of pFieldEditor then your data source will not match the dgData value.
Here is an example script that goes in the Data Grid group script.

## An example that saves
on CloseFieldEditor pFieldEditor
put the dgColumn of the target into theColumnBeingEdited
put the text of pFieldEditor into theNewText
## Save data to database using command I defined
put "Person" into theTable
## Get the unique id of the row in the database we want to edit
put GetDataOfIndex(the dgIndex of the target, "id") into theRowID
SaveDataToDatabase theTable, theRowID, theColumnBeingEdited, theNewText
end CloseFieldEditor
When Calling EditFieldText with 1 Parameter (More Flexible)
If you are working with data grid forms or decide to override the default behavior for data grid columns then you will make the call to EditFieldText yourself. For complete control over what gets saved you only pass in 1 parameter to EditFieldText. By passing in 1 parameter you are responsible for saving any changes to dgData.
Assume you made the following call in a data grid form:
EditFieldText the long id of field "Name" of me
CloseFieldEditor would still be sent when the user changes the contents of the field but would need to contain code for saving the changes to the dgData array.
Here is an example script that goes in the Data Grid group script.
## CloseFieldEditor placed in data grid script
on CloseFieldEditor pFieldEditor
put the dgColumn of the target into theColumnBeingEdited
## Store UTF8 text
put unidecode(the unicodetext of pFieldEditor, "UTF8") into theNewText
## Save data to database using command I defined
put "Person" into theTable
## Get the unique id of the row in the database we want to edit
put GetDataOfIndex(the dgIndex of the target, "id") into theRowID
SaveDataToDatabase theTable, theRowID, theColumnBeingEdited, theNewText
## Update dgData.
## Setting dgDataOfIndex will refresh the data grid display as well as update dgData
put the dgDataOfIndex[ the dgIndex of the target] of me into theDataA
put theNewText into theDataA[theColumnBeingEdited]
set the dgDataOfIndex[the dgIndex of the target] of me to theDataA
end CloseFieldEditor

Point of clarification:
in the examples, your step that actually does the DB save is told the table, the column and the new value... but not the row ID? Would this not update EVERY row, putting the new value in the selected column for ALL rows? Since I can't imagine that was the intent here, how indeed are you telling the DB to update just the one row you wanted to change?
Trevor DeVore
@jkrische: yes, the id was unintentionally left out in the example. I've updated the example so that it includes code that gets the unique row id to use when updating the database.
Sean Cole
What is the SaveDataToDatabase command and what does it do?
Trevor DeVore
@Sean - The command isn't defined in the example script. It is an example of a command you would call to save the changes to your database. This is something you would have to implement yourself as it would be specific to your project.
Sean Cole
Ah, ok. It was 'how to save to an external source' that I was trying to understand (which is probably the bit in that command). I figured this was the best place to come. I'm trying to output a data grid to a data file directly (not as text file in csv but as something I can reload quickly as is as persistent storage as the custom properties are not storing them as I expected and return to they're original values at stack load.
Trevor DeVore
A sqlite database is one option. There is a lesson on using one at _URL_

Leave your walker in the bridge
English: Leave your walker in the bridge
French: Laisser votre marchette dans la passerelle
Walkers and passengers' own wheelchairs are larger and probably won't fit anywhere in the cabin of the airplane. Usually, as the passenger boards the plane down the bridge, as they enter the plane, they leave their wheelchairs and walkers at the door of the airplane, inside the bridge. The walker or wheelchair is then taken down by the ramp agents and put into the cargo for the flight. Upon arrival, the walker or wheelchair is brought up again to the door of the airplane and the passenger can use it as soon as they exit the plane.
Sometimes, passengers are unsure where to leave their mobility device. For wheelchairs and walkers, you can tell them to leave them inside the bridge, beside the plane.
Vous pouvez=You can
Laisser=To leave (to allow something to remain)
La chaise (f) roulante=The wheelchair
La marchette (f)=The walker
La passerelle (f)=The bridge (terminal boarding bridge)
Vous pouvez laisser la chaise roulante dans la passerelle.
You can also point to the place in the bridge where they can leave the walker and say:
Vous pouvez laisser la marchette là-bas.
Là-bas=Over there, there
Note that "to leave" can be translated as "partir" or "laisser". "Partir" means "to leave" in the sense of "to depart". "Laisser" means "to leave" in the sense of "allowing something to remain".
Also note the "bridge" that connects the terminal to the airplane is called "passerelle" in French. A generic bridge, over a river for example, is a "pont" (m).

Rolled hinges is the collective name for all hinges with a bead. Rolled hinges refers to the hinge shape having been formed by 'rolling' the metal. Rolling is a pressing process; a special beading tool creates a 'roll' in both parts of the hinge. The hinge halves are then calibrated to receive the correct pin diameter. The parts are connected with a pin to create the hinge.

Sun Java System Messaging Server 6.3 Administration Guide To Set a Grace Period
The grace period specifies how long the mailbox can be over the quota (disk space or number of messages) before messages are bounced back to sender. The grace period is not how long the message is held in the message queue, it's how long the mailbox is over quota before all incoming messages, including those in the message queue, are bounced. (see 20.1 Overview for more details.) The grace period starts when the user has reached the quota threshold and been warned. See To Setup Quota Notification.
To specify a quota grace period at the command line:
configutil -o store.quotagraceperiod -v number
where number indicates number of hours.


I'm trying to extract a section of a raster file that overlaps with a polygon shapefile in QGIS 2.18.3. When I run extract, I'm left with a large null value area as part of the extent of the output raster.
I have the polygon (.shp):
vector mask
And the raster (.tif) which had this large null value area since the first time I clipped one of two DEMs that were merged together to create this layer:
I used Raster -> Extraction -> Clipper tool with the.tif input and.shp mask layer shown above, and it produced this output:
Using clipping option "Crop the extent of the target dataset to the extent of the cutline" didn't do much better:
clipped to extent ws dem
Here are the settings I'm using in QGIS' clipping tool:
clipping config
How do I get the DEM clipped exactly to the boundaries of the shapefile of interest in QGIS? Open to recommendations of other open source GIS tools as well but would prefer using this since I'm already up and running and learning my way around it.
The raster is clipped exactly to the shapefile boundaries.
But remember, a raster is a kind of matrix. It's composed by n rows and m columns, so the extent of it is rectangular.
The black area are pixels without values, so you only have valid pixels in the extent of the shapefile.
If you want to hide null pixels, check this answer How to display NoData of a raster in QGIS.
What have you done is clip out some values. The result is the desired but the meaning is different:
What have you done:
enter image description here
In this case, NULL pixels are defined by a value equals to 255. You can clip out those pixels setting a max of 254 and clipping out the remains values:
enter image description here
Sure work, even you can set two boundaries to remove some values of the render (min and max). But QGIS has a dedicated section to remove NULL or No Data values. Gives you more control about how to handle these values:
enter image description here
 - Aha! That linked question is the opposite of what I wanted to do but led me to the answer: on the raster layer in question, go to properties, style, load min/max values, then check "clip extent to canvas". I applied that and got a raster with the extent only displaying as the vector's boundary. – cr0 Jul 31 '17 at 1:29
 - I think your answer is pretty complete if you add that last part. You could take my text and add it, then I'll check yours off. Thanks – cr0 Jul 31 '17 at 1:29
 - _USER_ ok, I updated my answer – aldo_tapia Jul 31 '17 at 14:03

The use of existing large pumping station equipment for upstream residual water reverse power generation is an unrealized yet valuable renewable energy project. At present, some large axial flow pump stations have begun to perform reverse power generation operations; however, related research has not yet started. In this paper, entropy generation theory is applied to a large-scale axial flow pump station system in reverse power generation operations, and the entropy generation method is used to investigate the accurate size and distribution of the mechanical energy dissipation of each component under different flow conditions. First, the energy characteristics and pressure fluctuations in the pump of the large axial flow pump station system are experimentally tested under reverse power generation conditions. The reliability of the entropy generation numerical calculation is verified both experimentally and theoretically. Then, the proportion of each component in the total entropy production is compared to illustrate how each component contributes to the total entropy production of the system and how this contribution changes as operating conditions vary. Then, the type of entropy production of each component is accurately determined under different flow conditions, revealing the changes in the proportions of the different types of entropy production of each component. Finally, components with large mechanical energy dissipations are selected, and the changes and causes of the energy dissipation distribution of the components are thoroughly analysed under different flow conditions. The research results can aid in better understanding the energy dissipation mechanism of large axial flow pump systems in reverse power generation operations.

Flying drones is an exciting and immersive experience, especially when maneuvering through trees and capturing amazing views. However, if you are a beginner, you might be hesitant about flying your drone near trees, more so if you ever noticed some loss of drone signal when flying your drone through or around them. This brings us to our question: Do trees block drone signals?
Trees can interfere with the signal between the drone and remote controller and even block it. However, you can avoid this issue by correctly calibrating your drone compass or flying your drone higher. This will ensure that the transmission of signals between your drone and its remote controller is not blocked.
How trees block drone signals
It's actually the high water content of trees that causes a reflection and absorption of radio signals. This is seen in the trunks, leaves, and branches, although you will notice signal interference more during the spring and summer seasons when the foliage is at its height.
During fall and winter when trees shed their leaves, the water content and thus the radio signal interference is minimized.
Trees can cause signal disruption in a number of other ways as well. See the discussion below to learn how trees and other types of obstacles can interfere with your drone's radio signal.
What causes interference with drone signals?
Several factors cause the signal of your drone to degrade. Here is a discussion of some of them.
This is an occurrence that takes place when the electromagnetic waves of your drone signal encounter an obstacle. The obstacle can cause a split of the waves, causing them to continuously spread in different directions. The obstacle can be trees, buildings, or a wall.
When this happens, the diffracted signals begin to bend around the obstacle. In most cases, rounded objects cause more signal loss than sharp ones.
This occurs when a signal bounces back towards its source after encountering an obstacle. Most drone signals are subjected to reflection to some degree, and this will cause them to be lost temporarily.
An excellent example of signal reflection is when your aircraft receives signals that do not come directly from a remote controller but instead from a signal that is bouncing off a tree. Some of the signal will reflect towards the remote controller, and as a result, there will be an interference between the drone's and controller's communication. At worst, this can cause the aircraft to crash land or at best cause a temporary loss of signal.
In this scenario, a wireless signal is diffused or spread apart after encountering the surface of an uneven object. The primary signal dissipates into double reflection signals once it strikes the rough surface.
Scattering causes a substantial degradation or even complete loss of signal. Some elements that are likely to cause your drone's signal to disperse include smoke, dust, tiny water drops, or plant leaves.
The signals of your drone have to navigate through the atmosphere. Therefore, the farther they travel, the more they will lose their strength. This is why it is critical to ensure that your drone doesn't fly past the recommended range of operation.
Your drone's signal is likely to be affected by anything that has a communication frequency of 2.4 GHz. However, the strength of the aircraft's signal can also be affected by other factors, including the smart controller's transmission distance.
This is a reduction of your drone's signal strength once it passes through an object that has no radio signal transparency. Absorption might cause you to lose control of your drone so long as the object remains in between your drone and controller.
This is another factor that dramatically affects drone signals. In this case, the radio signals that are reflected split and get to the receiver through several different paths. In some cases, there might be an interference between the path and the main signal, thus causing a downgrade of the drone's signal.
How to prevent drone signal blocking?
You can easily minimize magnetic interference by calibrating your drone's compass. However, make sure you are at a distance from any magnetic field for best results.
Also, avoid calibrating your aircraft near a dense forest or a building. It's best to do the compass calibration in a place that's isolated or empty.
Here are some other ways you can prevent drone signal blocking.
Don't take off or land on magnetic surfaces
Drone signal interference can cause issues when your drone is landing or taking off. For this reason, you should fly your drone in areas with low magnetic interference. Some of the surfaces your drone should not land or take off from include wet wood, concrete, or places with metal pipes buried underground.
Additionally, make sure to fly your drone at least a distance of 90 yards (80 meters) from power lines with high voltage.
If you are having a hard time finding a perfect spot, consider using a drone pad to quickly launch your aircraft while it remains portable and compact.
Check your MOCA to set the correct RTH altitude
MOCA stands for Minimum Obstacle Clearance Altitude. It is used to identify the tallest buildings in your area. Your observation should go beyond construction equipment.
Once you establish your MOCA, you should set your Return to Home Altitude above the MOCA. This will prevent crashing your drone when it's flying back.
Avoid flying your drone in GPS mode between tall buildings
Tall buildings are great contributors to drone signal interference. Flying your drone in GPS mode between tall buildings is likely to cause signal loss. The signal will reflect on the tall buildings, resulting in a degraded signal. In this case, the drone has a high chance of flying into a building.
Set the drone to hover in case of signal loss
When flying your drone around trees, you should anticipate possible signal loss. So in case it happens, you should adjust the settings of your drone to land at a particular spot, hover it in an area, or automatically return home using the RTH feature.
However, even though flying the drone home using the RTH is usually the best idea, it depends on the GPS reception quality. A good GPS signal might be challenging in areas with many trees or tall structures because your drone might lose orientation and fly in the wrong direction.
Setting your drone to hover will prevent such an incident from happening since it will pause and hover in place, and you can move yourself to restore the signal. This will give you a chance to reconnect with your drone and prevent a flyaway or crash.
Trees block drone signals due to water content. When combined with the presence of trunks, leaves, and branches, this issue causes a reflection of and absorption of radio signals. Winter is the only season that trees pose little risk of signal disturbance because there is no foliage to block your drone's signal.

Tax Act, State of Maine, 1827
In 1827 the state of Maine issued a tax act, which delineated the amount of taxes that each town was responsible for paying to the state. The state of Maine determined that the town of Baldwin was responsible for $76.30 of the fifty thousand dollars in taxes that it was assessed the inhabitants of the state owed. This tax act also lists exclusions and rules to include property to be taxed. Elias Thomas, the signer of this document, was the treasurer for the state of Maine from 1824 to 1827 as well as in 1829 and 1830.

Definition - What does Back Ionization mean?
Back ionization is the excessive deposition of charged powder particles, preventing further powder from being deposited on the substrate. This results in improper surface coating.
This phenomenon causes coatings to have high porosity and improper bonding, leading to a coating that is not suitable for corrosion protection.
Back ionization is also known as starring or starburst effect.
Corrosionpedia explains Back Ionization
When charged powder coating is applied to a metal surface, the thickness of powder coating increases. Because of this, a cumulative charge will be produced by powder particles on the coating as coating's thickness increases. As the coating thickness increases, the strength of the electric field becomes sufficient to ionize air trapped between powder particles.
The ionization of air generates a great number of positive ions. These positive charges try to escape from the coating and attract the negative charge of the coating particles. This creates an uneven coating surface. This causes an "orange peel" texture on the powder's surface. The phenomenon is more typical when applying a second coat on a part, but can occur when applying the first coat.
How to avoid back ionization:
- Lower voltage settings
- Optimizing distance between the gun and coating surface
- Ion collector use: A grounding ring or grounding source of power

Emigrant Creek Dam was constructed between 1967 and 1968 and at that time, it provided the major water supply to Lennox Head and Ballina. In 1998 these areas were connected to the Rous County Council supply system however Rous County Council continued to use Emigrant Creek Dam to supplement their other sources.
In 2002 the dam was upgraded to new design standards so that it would safely withstand the "Probable Maximum Flood" - this is the volume of water flowing into the catchment from the largest flood event likely to occur. This would theoretically create about 5.5 metres of water flowing over the spillway. The upgrade involved raising the embankments, reinforcing the spillway and anchoring it to bedrock about 30 metres below the creek bed.
Emigrant Creek Dam is used to supplement the Rocky Creek Dam and Wilsons River supplies. Rocky Creek Dam is used for preference as it has the lowest operating costs. The other sources are brought on-line as the storage level in Rocky Creek Dam drops to help secure our water supply and avoid water restrictions.
Emigrant Creek Dam has a capacity of 820 mega litres at full supply level. The dam wall is 13 metres high and 140 metres long and is made up of about 6,000 tonnes of rock, soil, concrete and steel. Water is released via an integrated spillway which is designed to discharge 950 cubic meters of water per second under probable maximum flood conditions. The highest observed level at the reservoir was two metres above the spillway on July 9, 1985, corresponding to an outflow of 280 cubic metres per second.
The dam also releases environmental flows through two valves in the base of the dam. These are intended to mimic the natural flow patterns of the creek and minimise the impact on water quality downstream of the dam.
Emigrant Creek Water Treatment Plant is located adjacent to the dam. The plant starts and stops based on demand from the reservoirs in the supply network. When required, water is pumped directly from the dam into the plant for treatment.
For safety reasons, and to protect our water quality, there is no public access to the dam structure or lake. You can view the dam from a lookout at the end of the Water Walk which is accessed from Killen Falls Drive. There is also a walk that takes you to Killen Falls as well as car-parking facilities and picnic facilities. There are no toilets at this site. Learn more about the walks at Emigrant Creek Dam here.
The dam has a de-stratification (aeration) system. This system mixes the water in the dam, preventing layers of different temperatures or oxygen levels from developing within the water column. De-stratification reduces conditions favoured by blue green algae and prevents the bottom of the dam becoming anaerobic. Dissolved Oxygen and Temperature are measured at various locations in the dam each week to ensure the water is properly aerated and mixed. Water samples are also tested for blue-green algae weekly with increased testing in the event of an algal bloom. If a medium to high level algal bloom occurs, affected residents will be notified by phone and warning signs erected around the dam and at Kirklands Crossing. Further information about blue-green algae management and current NSW alerts is available from the NSW Office of Water.


text: Using a structural dynamic programming model, we investigate the relative importance of family background variables and individual specific abilities in explaining cross-sectional differences in schooling attainments and wages. Given scholastic ability, household background variables (especially parents' education) account for 68% of the explained crosssectional variations in schooling attainments. When the effects of household background variables on ability are also taken into account, the percentage raises to 85%. However, individual differences in wages are mostly explained by abilities. Only 27% of the explained variation in wages is accounted for by parents? background variables as opposed to 73% by unobserved abilities (orthogonal to family background variables). When scholastic ability is correlated with family background variables, ability endowments explain as much as 81% of individual wages.

inverse femtobarn
The inverse femtobarn (fb−1) is a measurement of particle-collision events per femtobarn; a measure of both the collision number and the amount of data collected.
One inverse femtobarn corresponds to approximately 100 trillion (1012) proton-proton collisions. Over a period of time, two streams of particles with a cross-sectional area, measured in femtobarns, are directed to collide. The total number of collisions is directly proportional to the luminosity of the collisions measured over this time.
Calculate the collision count by multiplying the integrated luminosity by the sum of the cross-section for those collision processes. This count is then expressed as inverse femtobarns for the time period (100 fb−1 in nine months).
Note: Do not use inverse femtobarn in the public section of the website where it can be avoided - it is unnecessarily technical. Convert to approximate numbers of collisions instead.

How to Open XER File?
What is a Primavera P6 XER Project File?
An XER file is a file format natively used by the Oracle® Primavera P6 enterprise project and portfolio planning and management software solutions. Software tools from the Primavera suite of Construction and Engineering solutions such as the P6 use the.xer file format to store schedule data about the projects created within the application.
The XER file format is used to store the data upon an export and communicate the project information between different project stakeholders and P6 databases.
In its textual structure this file format has the potential to store enormous amount of project data. The P6 application is a complex solutions dedicated to match the needs of large organizations and therefore it has the potential to store schedule data in more than 170 tables, associated with different relationships. When this data is exported on an.xer file it is roughly gathered in 20 to 66 tables. Different categories of project data are imprinted into the output file, such as records and data values for Global, Project, Activity Codes, Calendars, Activities, Projects, Resources and their inter-relationships.
XER files can be opened by the Primavera P6 software itself, but a more easier way to open an XER file is through the ScheduleReader software, due to the fact that this XER file viewer does not connect to any database and can open large project files in this or the XML file format in a matter of seconds.
This.xer file reader is a standalone, independently developed software solution and it is not connected or associated with the Oracle® corporation.
Following are the instructions of how to open an XER file with ScheduleReaderTM.

Cigarette Gift Giving Practices in China: A Descriptive Analysis
The practice of gifting cigarettes is deeply rooted in Chinese culture and found throughout China regardless of economic or smoking status.1 The gifting of cigarettes, particularly premium brands, is considered both a sign of respect and a status symbol and is particularly common during holidays and other special occasions. The tobacco industry exploits these gift giving holidays, e.g., Spring and Fall Festival, by promoting their brands using festival values, such as, warmth, friendship, and celebration.2 These practices have contributed to the normalization of smoking in China and have be

text: Purpose: To describe the development and preliminary evaluation of the Multicontext Sitting Time Questionnaire (MSTQ). Method: During development of the MSTQ, contexts and domains of sitting behavior were utilized as recall cues to improve the accuracy of sitting assessment. The terms "workday" and "nonworkday" were used to disambiguate occupational and discretionary sitting. An expert panel evaluated content validity. Among 25 participants, test-retest reliability of the MSTQ items was assessed with intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs). Convergent validity was assessed versus relative and absolute accelerometerestimated sedentary time and activity log using Pearson (r) or Spearman (r) correlation coefficients where appropriate. Results: Pilot testing revealed Web-based MSTQ administration was rapid, scalable, and inexpensive. Most items in the MSTQ demonstrated acceptable reliability (ICCs > .70). Compared with accelerometer-estimated sedentary time relative to total wear time, the MSTQ exhibited a low correlation on workdays (r = .34) and a moderately high correlation on nonworkdays (r = .61). Conclusions: The systematic development of the MSTQ resulted in several improvements over previous tools and may serve as a model for purpose-driven questionnaire design. Additional validation is needed to conclusively determine the utility of the MSTQ. Copyright © AAHPERD.

After showing you how to feed pigs and deer earlier, today we're going to show you how to use a five gallon bucket to feed chickens! Jimmywait on the backyard chickens forum made a great guide that showcases how to make a chicken feeder, we took his idea and improved further upon it.
-One five gallon bucket (link)
-One piece of 3″ pvc elbow (link)
-A sillicone kit or pvc cement (link)
I'll assume you already have a saw, but the rest of the required equipment may be useful to buy in one go at Amazon, to cut down on delivery costs.
Step 1: Cut the PVC elbow at the red line, as shown here above.
Step 2: Make a round hole in the bucket one inch off the bottom, using a knife or a saw, where the PVC will fit into the bucket.
Step 3: The PVC pipe should now be attached inside the bucket, with the angle pointing downwards. The piece you cut off, should be attached on the opposite side, as shown in the image above step 2.
Step 4: If you think one PVC pipe is not sufficient for your chickens, you may want to add more PVC pipes.
Step 5: When the PVC cement dries, your chicken feeder should be ready for you to use.
The final result should look as following:

Note: Traffic counts cover various street segments and are provided for informational purposes only. All data should be verified with the appropriate Traffic Operations staff at _PHONE_, and/or verified in the field, prior to use. The last comprehensive counts were conducted in 1997. Some street segments are more current as the date indicates. The City of Eureka uses a 1.4% per year growth rate as a rule of thumb.
Current volumes can be adjusted to future volumes with the Growth Factor. To calculate a growth factor based on a growth rate over several years, use the following formula:
GF = (1+r)^Y = Growth Factor
r = Growth Rate
Y = Number of years
For example the growth factor for 1.4% growth over 8 years is:
GF = (1 + 0.014) ^ 8 = 1.118
A street segment showing a traffic count of 1000 in 1997 would be adjusted as follows:
Adjusted volume = 1000 x 1.118 (GF) = 1118

What is a TAO file?
A TAO file is a disk image that contains a copy of a CD or DVD's contents. It is used to create duplicate or backup discs, via CD and DVD burning programs. TAO files are used to burn discs using the track-at-once (TAO) recording method.
More Information
Track-at-once is a method of writing data to a CD-R or DVD-R. Programs that use this method write one track or title to a disc at a time, with run-out and run-in blocks recorded between each track. In contrast, programs that write discs using the disc-at-once (DAO) method write all data to a disc at the same time, often with no run-out and run-in blocks.
Various CD and DVD authoring programs that can write discs using the TAO method can create and load TAO files. These files contain all of a track-at-once disc's contents, saved in a format that can be used to transfer those contents to a recordable disc.
How to open a TAO file
You can open a TAO file and view its contents with Smart Projects IsoBuster (Windows) or EZB Systems UltraISO (Windows). UltraISO also allows you to burn the data your TAO file contains to a CD-R or DVD-R.

4.4/5 (21 Views. 29 Votes)
Leucophyllums can be used in a wide range of landscape situations, included focal points, visual and wind screening, accents, and wildlife habitat. With the onset of summer monsoons, leucophyllum explodes in a burst of color, giving it the nickname barometer plant.
Click to see full answer
Herein, what is Texas sage good for?
Texas sage is a classic in the American Southwest. What is a Texas sage shrub? As a native plant, it provides cover for wild animals and birds and helps stabilize loose desert soils. This adaptable plant is drought tolerant and useful in areas with high heat and cold desert temperatures.
Subsequently, question is, how do you take care of Texas sage? Texas sage does not need rich soil to thrive and prefers dry but well-draining alkaline soil with infrequent watering. Stop watering the plant during winter. It is a water-conserving plant and only needs occasional watering. This makes Texas sage ideal for xeriscape gardens and dry soil is ideal for older plants.
Likewise, can you eat Texas sage?
It also helps that almost the entire shrub is edible some way. The blossoms, yellow or red, can be eaten raw or cooked. Their flavor is mild.
How quickly does Texas sage grow?
The Texas Sage is a fairly slow growing plant, and may take up to two years to become fully established and bloom reliably. Once established the Texas Sage is extremely drought tolerant, requires very little supplemental water, and will bloom after a good rain storm.
29 Related Question Answers Found
How much water does a Texas sage need?
Water newly planted Texas sage every five to seven days for a few weeks until it's well established, allowing the top 2 inches of soil to dry out between watering sessions. After that, rainfall should be enough in most climates. If rainfall is below average, water the plant in summer to promote flowering.
Is Texas sage poisonous to dogs?
Commonly called barometer bush or Texas sage, Leucophyllum frutescens has green or silver leaves and seasonal blooms, most commonly shaded purple. Barometer bush is not typically toxic to dogs, but can shelter allergens and other poisonous animals or matter.
Does Texas sage attract butterflies?
Bloom Time
Texas sage most often blooms after summer showers and does bloom repeatedly in waves from spring through fall, especially after rains moisten the soil. Other benefits of Texas sage are its interesting foliage and its ability to attract butterflies and other beneficial insects.
Do bees like Texas sage?
Texas Sage Plant Features
The flowers attract bees, butterflies, and other polliantors.
Does Texas sage loose leaves in winter?
ANSWER: Leucophyllum frutescens (Cenizo), or Texas sage, is a dry land plant that responds very strongly to weather conditions. It often loses leaves following a cold winter. Texas sage can be pruned severely if desired without permanent damage.
Is Texas sage an evergreen?
As you might have guessed, Texas sage originated in Texas, but also in New Mexico, and across the border, in northern Mexico. It is an evergreen shrub, with grayish-green leaves and purple flowers. Texas sage also goes by the names of Texas Ranger and Silverleaf. It's a perennial which will bloom on its own every year.
Can you cut back Texas sage?
If left to grow naturally, Texas sage develops uneven branches and an unruly appearance. Pruning is not necessary, but an occasional trim keeps the shrub looking neat. Ideally, pruning should occur in late winter before Texas sage produces new growth.
Why is my Texas sage not blooming?
Texas Sage thrives in full sun and well-drained alkaline soil. They will tolerate a bit of shade, but too much shade will result in leggy plants that don't bloom heavily. Supplemental water in summer will help plants grow faster and bloom more, but over-watering or poor drainage will kill Texas sage quickly.
What is Cenizo good for?
Comments: Cenizo is popular for xeriscaping in Texas - it is a good choice for foundation planting and hedges, and is useful as a windbreak barrier or a screen. It is not unusual to see Cenizo as a sheared hedge, although light pruning to maintain a more natural shape may result in a healthier shrub.
What is Purple Sage good for?
Highly aromatic, Purple Sage is the most effective medicinal variety of Sage but stands cold the least. It can be made into teas to aide in digestion, used as an anti inflammatory agent for insect bites and can relive chest colds and congestion.
Can you cook with Purple Sage?
Purple sage can be used in place of common garden sage or when an added pop of color is desired. Purple sage develops optimal flavor when cooked in fat such as butter, olive oil, or bacon. Pan fry fresh Purple sage leaves until crispy for a uniquely colored garnish for quiches, pastas, risotto or other dishes.
What does it mean when purple sage blooms?
It tells you when it may rain! A drought-tolerant, evergreen shrub, this pretty, silver-leafed bush can bloom tubular-shaped blossoms that are a bold purple in color. Actual rainfall may not occur, but the plant is sensitive to changes in barometric pressure and humidity, and therefore it blossoms.
How do you prune a Texas Ranger?
Prune the shrub in the late winter or early spring when it is dormant. Cut out any dead or broken branches with a pair of pruning shears. Make each cut 1/4 inch above an outward-facing leaf bud, lateral branch or branch base. Remove any crossing branches that rub against other limbs.
Why is my Texas sage yellow?
How do you transplant Texas sage?
The shrub can get established and form a good root system during the cool, wet season when conditions are mild.
 1. Clear the planting area and remove rocks, weeds, roots and sticks.
 2. Soak the container the Texas sage is in 24 hours before planting.
Is Texas sage drought tolerant?
Very drought tolerant. Requires excellent drainage. The Texas sage is a fairly slow-growing plant, and may take up to 2 years to become fully established and bloom reliably. Once established, the Texas Sage is extremely drought tolerant, requires very little supplemental water, and will bloom after a good rain storm.
What does Texas sage look like?
Handsome and hardy, Texas sage is an outstanding South Florida landscape choice with its silvery foliage, purple flowers and drought-tolerant nature. The lavender to purple blossoms appear on and off all year amidst small, soft, silver or gray-green leaves.

How to Tell If You Broke Your Nose
By Alicia Bodine ; Updated July 27, 2017
A broken nose is extremely painful. You may not even know that you have a broken nose at first, because some symptoms do not emerge until three days later. Often, though, the symptoms of a broken nose are obvious. Once a broken nose is confirmed, treatment can begin. Treatment can be as simple as packing the nose and waiting for it to heal, or as complicated as having a few surgeries.
 1. Watch for swelling. If your nose is broken, it will swell up. The whole nose may be puffy, or it may just be puffy on one side. This depends on where the break is.
 2. Keep an eye out for bruising. Broken noses often leave nasty-looking bruises around your nose and under your eye.
 3. Look for blood. If you break your nose, it is highly likely you will bleed out of your nose.
 4. Touch your nose and see if it produces pain. Is it tender in that area? If so, you may have broken it.
 5. Examine the shape of your nose. Has it changed shape, or does it look crooked? This is an excellent indicator that your nose is broken.
 6. Try to breath through your nose. If breathing is difficult, you most likely have broken your nose.
 7. Get an X-ray if you have the above mentioned symptoms. This is the only way to confirm that your nose is broken. Your primary care doctor can order the X-ray, or you can visit an emergency room and have it done.
 8. Tip
 Place an ice pack or some frozen peas on your nose as soon as you think you might have broken it. This will help with the swelling until you can get help.
 Warnings
 Get examined by a doctor. If you don't, and your nose is broken so badly that you need surgery, you may have breathing problems for the rest of your life.

The paper presents the results of an in-vivo study of lymphedema tissue by optical coherent elastography in small animals. A lower limb lymphedema model in Wistar rats by lymph node resection was created. This article describes the application of the method of optical coherent elastography as a tool for in-vivo study of a model of lower limb lymphedema in small laboratory animals. Studies have shown that with the development of lymphedema, elastic properties change significantly.
A model of lymphedema in laboratory animals was realized and analyzed with multiphoton microscopy (MPM). Computer vision methods were used to describe the textures of lymphedema tissue MPM images, then informative features of the fibrosis development were extracted. Besides, the ratios of the autofluorescence lifetime to the second harmonic signal were estimated.
Methods of two-photon microscopy are widely used in the study of biological objects, in particular, skin, due to the possibility to study objects both on the surface and at depth without attracting additional fluorophores due to endogenous autofluorescence. In this paper, the methods of image analysis of the AF signal and SHG signal are applied to assess the condition of the skin during the development of lymphedema. It is shown that for groups of healthy tissue and lymphedematous using SAAID distribution histograms, changes in tissues can be detected.
A model of lymphedema was developed using laboratory animals. During lymphatic edema enhancement, a study was made of changes in the structure of biological tissues by interference optical methods in the near infrared region of the spectrum. Statistical methods were applied for describing textures of the experimental images of the affected tissues, informative features of the dynamics of fibrosis development were identified.
Last years the development of computer-aided diagnostic systems for medical image analysis has become a hot topic. A key step is connected with informative features extraction. Here, we discussed multiphoton microscopy and optical coherent tomography lymphedema tissue images analysis using gradient processing methods.

Using Audio Ducking to Balance Voice-overs and Background Music in PowerDirector 16
Audio Ducking is a powerful new feature in PowerDirector 16. Audio Ducking can automatically optimize the audio mix in videos that contain dialogue or narration by fading backing music tracks so that speech can be clearly heard.
Step 1: Import your Video and Background Music
Drag and drop your video and background music onto the timeline. They should appear on two different tracks.
Step 2: Using the Audio Ducking Tool
Select the video or audio clip on the timeline that you want to have a lower volume and click on Tools > Audio Ducking. In this case we have selected the background music track.
In the Audio Ducking window, you can customize the following controls:
- Sensitivity: sets the level of dialogue/narration detection in other clips.
- Ducking level: sets how much you want to reduce the volume in the selected clip.
- Fade-out duration: sets the duration for lowering the volume in the selected clip.
- Fade-in duration: sets the duration for restoring the audio level once the dialogue/narration in the other clip ends.
Select the Apply to all clips on the same track option if you want the audio ducking applied to all the clips in your video project timeline. Once finished click OK to apply.
On your timeline you should now be able to see that the audio levels of the background music track are lower when there is narration on the main video clip.

Determining the Interval
Applies To: Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2003 R2, Windows Server 2003 with SP1, Windows Server 2003 with SP2
You must set the site link replication interval property to indicate how frequently you want replication to occur during the times when the schedule allows replication. For example, if the schedule allows replication between 02:00 hours and 04:00 hours, and the replication interval is set for 30 minutes, replication can occur up to four times during the scheduled time. The default replication interval is 180 minutes, or 3 hours.
Consider the following criteria to determine how often replication occurs within the schedule window:
 - A small interval decreases latency but increases the amount of WAN traffic.
 - To keep domain directory partitions up to date, low latency is preferred.
With a store-and-forward replication strategy, determining just how long a directory update might take to be replicated to every domain controller is difficult. To provide a conservative estimate of maximum latency, perform these tasks:
 - Create a table of all the sites on your network, as shown in Table 3.3.
 Table 3.3 Maximum Latency (in Hours) of Replication Between Sites
 Seattle Boston Los Angeles New York Washington DC
 Seattle
 0.25

 Boston

 0.25

 Los Angeles

 0.25

 New York

 0.25

 Washington DC

 0.25
 An average, worst-case latency within a site is estimated to be 15 minutes.
 - From the replication schedule, determine the maximum replication latency possible on any site link connecting two hub sites.
 For example, if replication occurs between Seattle and New York every three hours, then the maximum delay for replication between these sites is 3 hours. If the replication delay between New York and Seattle is the longest scheduled delay among all hub sites, then the maximum latency between all hubs is 3 hours.
 - For each hub site, create a table of the maximum latencies between the hub site and any of its satellite sites.
 For example, if replication occurs between New York and Washington, DC, every four hours and this is the longest replication delay between New York and any of its satellite sites, then the maximum latency between New York and its satellites is four hours.
 - Combine these maximum latencies to determine the maximum latency for the entire network.
 For example, if the maximum latency between Seattle and its satellite site in Los Angeles is one day, the maximum replication latency for this set of links (Washington, DC-New York-Seattle-Los Angeles) is 31 hours (4 (Washington, DC-New York)+ 3 (New York-Seattle) + 24 (Seattle-Los Angeles)) as shown in Table 3.4.
 Table 3.4 Maximum Latency (in Hours) of Replication Between Sites
 Seattle Boston Los Angeles New York Washington DC
 Seattle
 0.25
 4+3
 24.00
 3.00

Review your maximum replication latency, and revise your replication schedule and interval if necessary.

There is no legitimate reason why women can't be sushi chefs, but plenty of excuses and old wives' tales abound in the male-dominated world of raw fish. Here, we recount the top reasons given to us by men as to why women and raw fish don't gel:
5. Because women menstruate: In an interview with the WSJ, Yoshikazu Ono, the son of Jiro Ono who runs the three-starred Michelin restaurant Sukiyabashi Jiro in Tokyo, says:
"The reason is because women menstruate. To be a professional means to have a steady taste in your food, but because of the menstrual cycle women have an imbalance in their taste, and that's why women can't be sushi chefs."
4. Because women wear makeup and perfume: These interfere with olfactory senses when preparing sushi.
3. Because women can't handle the work: Sushi involves hard labor, including gutting and slicing fish, working long hours and taking the last train home.
2. Because women have smaller hands: That messes up the size of the nigiri (mound of rice upon which the fish is placed).
1. And the number one reason: Because women's hands are too warm, which makes the rice too warm.
Needless to say, all of these reasons are bogus, folks.

Texas drought killed 301 million trees
By Kathy Huber | September 25, 2012 | Updated: September 26, 2012 7:52am
The numbers are ugly. A whopping 301 million trees have died across state forestlands as a result of the 2011 drought, the Texas A&M Forest Service reported Tuesday.
The latest count was determined after a three-month, on-the-ground study of hundreds of forested plots, as well as satellite imagery from before and after the drought. It includes trees killed directly by the drought and those so weakened that they succumbed to insects and disease.
The Brazos Valley region took the heaviest hit, losing nearly 10 percent of its trees on forested land. North Texas and western northeast Texas lost 8.3 percent and 8.2 percent, respectively.
Harris County is included in the 6.5 percent loss in the western section of southeast Texas. That's nearly 19 million fewer trees than the near 290 million live tree count before the drought. Far east stretches of southeast Texas got better news: a 1.3 percent loss, down 7.5 million trees from pre-drought 597.1 million live trees.
The 301 million count falls about midway of the forest service's previous estimates of 100 to 500 million drought-related tree deaths.
Although still a huge toll, the good news is the forest is resilient, says Burl Carraway, department head for the Texas A&M Forest Service Sustainable Forestry department. Young, new trees eventually grow in the place of fallen dead trees.
"Tree death is a natural forest process," he said in a news release. "We just had more last year than previous years."
Most of the dead trees will stand until they fall, says Forest Service analyst Chris Edgar. This benefits wildlife and helps prevent soil erosion.
The dead trees, however, could become hazards in fire conditions.
The 301 million does not include trees that shade our home gardens, city parks and streets. Another 5.6 million urban trees have died from the drought, according to an earlier study done by the service's Urban Forest program.
Houstonians have been shaken by the drought-related gaps in our urban forest.
Forester Mickey Merritt roughly estimates the drought has taken 50 percent of the trees in the city's Memorial Park.
Nature will also gradually help re-green urban canopies. More help will come from those that residents are eager to replant.

 How to switch a Windows MBR to Grub2
 Keyword in a nutshell : Grub2 can be placed inside any MS Windows to enhance the booting power.
 What is the switch all about?
 There is no necessity to change. The alteration is merely adding a more powerful and easier boot loader Grub2 as an additional tool.
 The original boot loader is untouched and is still the one that boots the MS Windows.
 What version of MS Windows does the switching applied?
 Done it with Win2k, Xp, Vista and Win7 before writing this Howto.
 Why is it possible?
 Grub2 has been engineered to read NTFS partitions. Therefore Grub2 can be installed inside a MS Windows partition that has a NTFS filing system. Linux may or may not be present elsewhere in the computer. In any case the switching is for Grub2 to work as a stand alone boot loader. Linux is only required to put it there.
 What actually are the changes in my Windows system?
 Only two items are involved.
 (1) The MBR, which is exactly 512 bytes long and is the first sector of the first boot disk, is replaced by Grub2's own version. Every Windows system can be booted without its MBR.
 (2) A new directory \boot is added to the "C" drive. Inside it \boot\grub has Grub2's system files. Win2k and Xp do not use a \boot partition at all. Vista and Win7 do have a \Boot partition which can be used to house a subdirectory for grub. Please note the \boot in Windows appears as /boot in Linux. The slash changes angle.
 How much hard disk space do I lose to get Grub2 in my Windows?
 The \boot\grub directory can have about 180 items with a total storage of 1Mb or 1000kb. All versions of Grub can be put inside a floppy and Grub2 is no different.
 Why Grub2? what's wrong with Grub1? what are their differences
 Grub1 cannot read a NTFS partition so It cannot be installed inside a MS Windows. Grub1 can be added if a separate partition is made available for its residence.
 As Grub2 can read NTFS partitions it is more useful. For example the \Boot is a hidden directory invisible to the Windows users but with Grub2 every hidden file and folder is visible.
 Grub1 is up to version 0.97 and Grub2 started from version 1.9x. Grub1 is fully mature, totally capable but difficult to maintain and expand. It maintainers decided it was better to re-write everything and called it Grub2. Grub1 has not been maintained for a few years already.
 What do I need to get Grub2 into my Windows?
 Just a Linux Live CD that has Grub2 inside. Currently Ubuntu and LinuxMint are shipped with Grub2 as their default boot loader. Grub2 can be downloaded directly from GNU/Grub but to use it one has to build it into a Linux so the easy way is just boot up a Linux Live CD that has Grub2.
 Is it safe and can I reverse the process?
 It is perfectly safe as the MS system MBR (remember it is only 512 bytes long) can be restored using the Windows installation CD or DVD thereby overwriting the Grub2. The command with a Win2k/Xp in Recovery Console is "fixmbr" whereas for a Vista/Win7 the command prompt off an installation DVD is "bootrec /fixmbr".
 To remove Grub2 folder is no different from removing any folder.
 What happen if I don't have the original installation CD or DVD?
 It is always the installation CD or DVD that provide the utility to alter the MBR. Any Windows installation CD or DVD of the similar Windows version will do as only one utility program is run.
 OK so what are the steps?
 Step 1 - Boot up a Linux Live CD that has Grub2. I assume Ubuntu above V9.04 is used.
 Step 2 - Select a terminal as the work is safer to be executed in a terminal. Become a Super user (equivalent to Admin in a MS Windows) with these terminal command
 Code:
 sudo su
 Step 3 - Do a sanity check with the hard disk partitions by command
 Code:
 fdisk -l
 It is vital to identify the partition that boots a MS Windows in Linux.
 Generally two conditions would have to be satisfied;
 (i) The partition must have been marked "active". This is shown normally with a "*" in Linux terminal
 (ii) The boot partition of any MS Windows must be a primary partition. In Linux terms only the first 4 partitions, from sda1 to sda4, are reserved primaries.
 Here is an output from command "fdisk -l" of my own PC as an example
 Code:
 [root@localhost ~]# fdisk -l

 Disk /dev/sda: 1500.3 GB, 1500300828160 bytes
 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 182401 cylinders
 Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = _PHONE_ bytes

 /dev/sda14 177638 180070 _PHONE_ 83 Linux
 /dev/sda15 180071 182401 _PHONE_ 83 Linux
 The two colored code condition are highlighted confirming my sda1 is the partition that boots a MS Windows.
 Step 4 - Create a mounting point in /mnt of the booted up Linux, mount the Windows partition on it. The commands are
 Code:
 mkdir /mnt/sda1
 mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/sda1
 ls /mnt/sda1
 The last command is optional for viewing the content of the Windows partition. As a sanity check Win2k or Xp always has boot.ini, NTLDR and ntdetect.com inside whereas for a Vista or Win7 there should always be a file called bootmgr and the /Boot directory present.
 Step 5 - Install Grub2. This is just by a simply Linux command
 Code:
 grub-install --root-directory=/mnt/sda1 /dev/sda
 Only this command implement the change. The consequence is the MBR, denoted by /dev/sda, will be allowed Grub2 to occupy. In so doing Grub2 will create a /boot/grub and populate it with the system files. At this stage Grub2 only boots to a Grub prompt and the user has to boot each operating system manually. To arrange the Windows automatically booted with a selectable menu a configuration file /boot/grub/grub.cfg must be created as per Step 6.
 Step 6 - Use an editor to create /boot/grub/grub.cfg in the mounted Windows paritition /mnt/sda1 by command
 Code:
 nano /mnt/sda1/boot/grub/grub.cfg
 with the following entries
 Code:
 menuentry 'My Windows in sda1 now booted by Grub2' {
 set root=(hd0,1)
 chainloader +1
 }
 The above entries can boot Windows in any partition by declaring the relevant partition in the statement "set root=". Grub2 counts disk from 0 and partitions from1 (same as a MS Windows) therefore (hd0,1) is the first partition of the first hard disk. Anything shown in menuentry only get displayed and not acted on.
 The above steps work perfectly for Win2k and Xp.
 For Vista and Win7 there is a small complication that /Boot and not /boot could be used in some versions of these two MS Windows. The /boot/grub therefore must be duplicated in /Boot, if it exists, by this command in the Linux terminal
 Step 7 - To duplicate /boot/grub into /Boot if it exists
 Code:
 cp -r /mnt/sda1/

What Does It Mean When A Hamster Stands Up?
Have you noticed that every now and then your hamster will stand up on their two back legs? Is this something you need to worry about? What Does It Mean When A Hamster Stands Up?
Hamsters will stand up on their back legs to have a good look and listen to things around them. They will also stand up when they are grooming themselves. If your hamster stands up as you approach them this is a sign of defensive behaviour.
Why Does My Hamster Stand On Its Hind Legs?
A hamster will stand on its hind legs to help them explorer their surroundings. By standing they can get a better view around them and have a good sniff as the air is most likely more free moving.
A hamster standing on its hind legs is also known as meerkating because they exhibit the same posture as a meerkat.
It is very important when a hamster is standing that you do not approach them and try to pick them up as they might show some aggression towards you. At this stage your hamster is in a exploring mode and they do not want to be distracted. If this is the case do not worry because it is normal for them to act this way.
They are in this hunting mode usually because they can smell or see something that is interesting, usually food related. Below is a video showing a hamster standing on its hind legs.
YouTube video
Why Is My Hamster Standing Perfectly Still?
A hamster will stand perfectly still if they have smelt or heard something interesting or threatening and they are not sure where it is. This behaviour is witnessed commonly in wild hamsters, but also domestic hamsters.
It is also common for them to stand perfectly still for minutes at a time. This is a natural for them to do, it has most likely been inherited from wild hamsters because they are seen as prey in the wild and they stay perfectly still to avoid predators.
If your hamster is standing perfectly still you can approach them slowly and gently pick them up, make sure not to scare them and they should start to move around again.
Hamster Falling Asleep Standing Up
If your hamster is falling asleep while standing up it is usually because they have fainted or have not had enough quality sleep recently.
It is not common for hamsters to fall asleep standing up, if they do it once or twice it is nothing to be worried about.
If they are frequently falling sleep standing up then there is most likely an issue that needs to be looked in to. You will need to look at the following two items.
Monitor Sleep Pattern
A healthy hamster requires between six to eight hours of sleep a day. Hamsters also sleep during the day so it should be easy to monitor how much sleep they are having.
YouTube video
During the day keep a record of how much sleep they are getting. It is usual for them to get up a few times during their sleep to go toilet and have a drink.
If they are frequently having less then six hours a day you should take them to the vet as soon as possible.
Typically when a hamster faints they will fall or jump because they are not sure what is happening to them and they are scared.
It should be pretty obvious if your hamster is fainting, take a look at this video for the signs to look out for
YouTube video
The main causes of hamsters fainting include
 - Not eating enough food
 - Not drinking enough water
 - Suffering from an illness
If they are constantly fainting for longer than one day then you will need to take them to a vet to be looked at as soon as possible.


10.12 Deleting the Junction
Deleting a junction removes the junction file and the trustees, trustee rights, and inherited rights filters that are explicitly set on the junction. It does not delete the data or trustee settings in the target location.
Changing the access path to the data might result in different effective rights for users at the target location. To avoid security or visibility issues, make sure to verify trustee settings in the target location before or after the delete. Before you delete the junction, you can use the Target Rights page for the junction to modify the settings. After you delete the junction, use any other method you normally use to view and modify rights.
 1. (Optional, recommended) Verify that the trustees and trustee rights settings at the target location are what you intend them to be when users access the data via a different path than the current junction.
 For information, see Section 10.8, Adding or Deleting Trustees for the Junction Target and Section 10.10, Modifying Trustee Rights for the Junction Target.

Cosmopolitanism and patriotism in Ghanaian hiplife lyrics
- Author(s): Garfinkel, David A.
- et al.
Ghanaian Hiplife is a musical style that emerged in the early 1990's, and has steadily gained popularity since. The music is a combination of Ghanaian Highlife--an early 20th century mix of both European and local traditions-- and American Hip Hop. As a musical hybrid, Hiplife often blurs the lines between the global and the local. Its recontextualization of Western synthesized beats with local languages and music traditions has created a music that in many ways represents the cosmopolitan. However, it often simultaneously symbolizes a sense of patriotism for the relatively young country, emphasizing local significance of ethnicity and location. Through the use of various languages--Akan languages, Pidgin English, and Hip-Hop Vernacular English--current Hiplife artists demonstrate a complex give and take between the cosmopolitan and the patriot


text: When the prestressed concrete pipe piles with hybrid reinforcement (PRC pipe pile) are used as the supporting piles of foundation pits, in order to improve the utilization efficiency of non-prestressed reinforcement, it is proposed to use the pipe pile with non-prestressed reinforcement in the section as the supporting piles. Through the statistical analysis of the moment distribution of the supporting piles in 80 foundation pit projects in Tianjin, the full-scale bending tests and finite element analyses of the prestressed high-strength concrete pipe piles with partial hybrid reinforcement (PR-PHC pipe piles), the feasibility of the sectional reinforcement and the bending resistance of the PR-PHC pipe piles are studied. The research results show that the interval distribution of the bending moment of the pile shaft of single support row piles, inclined piles and cantilever piles has regularity. The non-prestressed reinforcement configured in the section of PR-PHC pipe piles can improve its ultimate bending bearing capacity and bending stiffness, and effectively improve the spread of pile cracks. The proposed numerical model can better reflect the actual situation of the tests. In addition, the adverse working conditions that may be encountered in the practical application of PR-PHC pipe piles are analyzed. It is proved that the PR-PHC pipe piles can be used to replace the PRC ones in foundation pit engineering, which reduces the use of reinforcement and promotes the carbon emission reduction.

This paper proposes and demonstrates a novel microcalorimetric sensor for detecting BCG (Bacillus Calmette-Guerin). In order to eliminate additional heating structures and calibration steps, a split-flow microchannel is integrated with the microcalorimeter. The split-flow microchannel keeps the output of the microcalorimeter constantly near a zero level without any heating elements when there is no biochemical reaction. By using the split-flow microchannel, an active heating element such as a heater is no longer required. And, in order to improve the sensitivity of the microcalorimeter, a thermal sensing component, a thermopile in this case, has been fabricated on a high thermal resistivity layer, which reduces a parasitic heat transfer to the silicon substrate and makes released thermal energy concentrated to the thermopile. The characteristics of the proposed microcalorimeter were investigated by measuring the reaction heat of the biotin-streptavidin pairs. The sensitivity was measured to be 0.8 Whsec/cal. Then, a biological reaction between BCG and its antibody was detected using the proposed microcalorimeter. In order to verify the reliability of the measurement, exactly the same amount of BCG was reacted with its antibody, and the optical density was measured using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay as a known reference.
